Angela runs integrated marketing campaigns for Rackspace. She started at Rackspace in 2003 and has done everything from Linux support, account management, sales, product marketing and now lives in marketing. She left Rackspace in 2005 to work for PEER 1 Hosting but returned in 2009 because she was interested in the cloud computing movement (and has always been a Racker at heart). Angela is a strong believer in the power of storytelling.

When will Rackspace cloud servers have AMIs like Amazon? I love the ease by which I can backup my servers but I’d love to download and/or share the images I make.

Re backup – Why wasn’t there a mention of the scheduled imaging backup? Is this a feature that is not recommended, or going away, or simply not quite ready yet?

From my point of view, it is extremely convenient and important (not to mention it is free – for now?) and solves a bunch of problems. It is in fact one of the major reasons why we chose Rackspacecloud.
